The Salt in Wounds Calendar

Salt in Wounds uses a simplified calendar based on seasons
rather than month. The annual tracking of the calendar begins with the binding
of the Tarrasque, hence the current year is 213 AB (After Binding). While the
nature of the city’s unique weather removes most of the markers of traditional
seasons the citizenry still count by them. Each season is broken up into 12
seven day weeks for a total of 84 days per season. A date might read ’74 AB – Summer
– 37’ for the 37th day of summer, 74 years after the binding of the
Tarrasque. One quirk of this calendar is that, since a year on Synoma is 337
days long, a single ‘gone day’ separates one year from the next which is
celebrated between last year’s winter and the next year’s spring. To learn moreabout ‘Gone Day’ and the other festivals of Salt in Wounds, click here.
